Camp WSB at W South Beach is an adult camp that “trades in smores for caviar,” says the hotel manager.
We are all awaiting the next New York Fashion Week in September. But throughout the summer months, where do fashionistas flock to?
Fashion-savvy globetrotters will be traveling across the globe, hunting for the world’s next greatest looks—and parties—throughout the summer.
There are tons of fashion events throughout the summer, ripe with parties, networking and couture. Here are five must-visit events happening in New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, and beyond. Even if you can’t make it to Paris Fashion Week, here are a few fashion events to mark in your calendar.
Camp WSB at the W South Beach hotel is upcoming June 24-27, July 15-18, and August 5-8.
Camp at W South Beach
This is the five-star answer to camping. WSB is likely the trendiest weekend away trip in 2022. This is where you can wear your cutest summer dress, check out outdoor movie screenings, take yoga classes, and attend stylish parties with Miami’s hottest DJs. There will be jewelry-making classes with experts, vegan-friendly cookouts and deals for their spa. Samantha Radlein, the manager of the W South Beach, says it’s giving traditional summer camp activities an adult twist.
“This is a more adult camp because instead of smores, we have caviar, instead of bug juice, we have cocktails, and we have the best music and the best entertainment on the beach,” she said. “Enjoy a cookout with a celebrity chef, craft with some of the nation’s leading jewelry designers, and workout with coveted fitness gurus.” This year’s Camp at W South Beach happens June 24 to 26 (music themed), July 15 to 18 (swim themed), and August 5 to 8 (art-focused, and yes, it’s timed with Andy Warhol’s birthday, as the hotel has a Warhol collection in their lobby).
